Challenge
Van Baarsen faced significant challenges with their traditional paper-based forms. Technicians working on-site found it impractical to fill out paper forms, especially in outdoor environments. This method was time-consuming and often led to delays in data collection. Additionally, managing and storing paper forms posed difficulties in ensuring data accuracy and accessibility. The need for a more efficient and reliable system to handle their administrative tasks was critical to improving their workflow and overall productivity.
Solution
MoreApp provided Van Baarsen with a comprehensive solution through digital forms, significantly enhancing their equipment management processes. The key forms used include the Equipment Registration Form, Workplace Inspection Form, NTA Guarantee Form, Behavioural Observation Form, and Work Form Gas. Each form was designed to capture essential data efficiently. Notably, the equipment management form features a barcode system that links equipment to employees, enabling digital signatures and streamlining the entire process. MoreApp's ease of use and flexibility allowed Van Baarsen to adjust forms quickly, often within minutes. Additionally, integrations with Google Sheets and Word further optimised their processes by providing real-time data updates and personalised reports. The branding module also allowed Van Baarsen to customise their App, giving it a professional look and feel.
